@countbinface.bsky.social Thank you for the most uplifting political campaign I can remember. It has been a great relief during a difficult time. I hope you win, but if not, I look forward to whatever you've got planned next. #BinForTheWin

LOL.

Two articles stacked above each other, one featuring a picture of footballer Lionel Messi, and another of a woman's legs with high heels. It makes it look as if the legs belong to Messi.

On Wednesday, we had to say goodbye to our wonderful dog, Islay. My wife and I are both in pieces. She had got us through many hard times by just being a loving bundle of fun. I shall miss our walks, play, and most of all, fusses. Goodnight, my gorgeous girl. ❤️ Islay - Sept 1, 2016 - July 8, 2026

Islay, pronounced aye-lah, a very fluffy white dog with sandy-coloured ears, a black nose, and big, expressive eyes. She is lying on a beach with her head looking to the viewer's left. She appears to be smiling with her pink tongue just poking out.

For Hitler, it was a Thousand-Year Reich. For Shitler, it's a Hundred-Year Pool.

In his Truth Social post last week, Trump said the public would still be marvelling at the renovation a century from now.

“This was not a paint job,” he declared. “This was highly sophisticated material, industrial strength, that could last for 100 years, applied by very talented people.”

John Curtice, king of the psephologists, here. TL;DR If Labour have any interest in saving their bacon at the General Election, they need to bring in proportional representation.

Reform are ahead (with a) relatively evenly spread vote under first past the post – that helps to explain why Reform are currently bringing in about 45% of the seats that have so far been declared.

But equally it also helps to explain why Conservatives and Labour are losing seats at a scale that is towards the higher end of what they feared.

It also helps to explain while the Greens are getting lots of credible performances, they’re not gaining that much in the way of seats because the truth is they are suffering the problem that many second and third parties suffer, which is under first past the post, you lose out. The Greens are just not doing well enough to be able to turn an eight-point lead in their support (compared to 2022) to gains in seats in any substantial number.

"I'm sorry, but..." is not an apology.

Ratcliffe says he's sorry his migration comment 'offended some people', but stresses need for 'open debate' on topic
Jim Ratcliffe has issued a statement saying he is sorry that his comment about the UK being “colonised” by migrants “offended some people”. But he defends the need for an “open debate” on the topic.

He said:

I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe and caused concern but it is important to raise the issue of controlled and well-managed immigration that supports economic growth.

My comments were made while answering questions about UK policy at the European industry summit in Antwerp, where I was discussing the importance of economic growth, jobs, skills and manufacturing in the UK.

My intention was to stress that governments must manage migration alongside investment in skills, industry and jobs so that long-term prosperity is shared by everyone. It is critical that we maintain an open debate on the challenges facing the UK.

Needled man says what?

Challenged again about whether he had racially abused anyone, Farage responded: “No, not with intent.”

When the interviewer told Farage that he did not understand what he meant by “not with intent”, the Reform leader responded: “You wouldn’t.”

Rupert Lowe is on to something. Look at this pair of fighting-age men celebrating reaching the British mainland. It's a scandal.

Munich is always good value - for example the Krampuslauf (Krampus run) is a great event in the run-up to Christmas.

For some reason this morning I have decided to listen to OK Computer by Radiohead for the first time in 20+ years. What an album. No, I'm not crying. You're crying.
